The OFFICIAL Answer: Hernan Cortes was welcomed because when he entered, he rode on horses. The Aztecs though of horses as religious. So, the Aztec Empire, Montezuma, believed that he and his men were Gods.
The Aztec king believed that Herman Cortes was a god. Therefore, when Cortes arrived, instead of trying to fight him and his men, they were lavished with gifts, food and allowed into the city. They realized much too late that Cortes was not a god and by the time they tried to fight him off, he already had a significant and crippling advantage.
The experience of the Aztecs under Hernán Cortés and that of Africans brought to the New World in the 1500s both involved brutal conquest and subjugation. The Aztecs faced the violent overthrow of their empire, loss of autonomy, and significant population decline due to warfare and disease. Similarly, Africans endured forced displacement, enslavement, and dehumanization as they were transported to the Americas. In both cases, these groups suffered profound cultural disruption and exploitation at the hands of European colonizers.
